Dragon Naturally Speaking 15 fails to install. What I did: NS15 needs the following: WMI, dotnet452, and Windows above 2003, preferably Windows 7.
First I installed Windows PowerShell core using these directions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/setup/installing-power...
Then I created a 64-bit wineprefix.
Installed dotnet 452 using winetricks
452 installs but then sets the wine version to either XP or 2003, neither of which will run NS15. So...
winecfg Windows 7
Then the installation works. It requests that powershell be activated, and that seems to work. It recognizes that the installed dotnet is inadequate, and installs its own.
And then it starts to install the program.
What makes this confusing is that Natspeak 12.5 also uses dotnet452, and the same things happen, but NS12.5 installs and runs fine.
This is the first error message I got
